What is the Advanced Scheduling module and why do I need a licence to access its features?

The Advanced Scheduling module is a premium add-on for PlayIt Live that unlocks sophisticated automation and scheduling features designed for professional radio broadcasting. It's one of three premium modules available for PlayIt Live, alongside Voice Tracking and Remote Management.

Key features requiring Advanced Scheduling:

  • Priority Streams - Allows remote presenters to take over your automation with direct stream connections
  • Hook Sequences - Creates promotional segments featuring clips from upcoming songs
  • Merge Start/End functionality - Inserts external content like commercial traffic logs into your playout log
  • Enhanced Fitting To Time settings - Advanced algorithms for precise timing control during scheduling
  • Extended Track Play History - Detailed analysis showing when and how often tracks are played over time
  • Auto Adjust - Automatically modifies tempo and segues to fit precise timing requirements

Why a licence is required:

These are professional-grade features that require significant development and ongoing support. The licensing system ensures that broadcasters using advanced automation features are properly supported and helps fund continued development of the software.

Identifying Advanced Scheduling features:

Throughout PlayIt Live, you'll see orange indicators on features that require the Advanced Scheduling module. These visual cues clearly show which functionality needs the premium licence.

Getting access:

You can purchase the Advanced Scheduling module individually or as part of the Premium Module Bundle (which includes all modules and offers better value). A 14-day free trial is available to evaluate all features before purchasing.

Checking your licence status:

Go to File > Settings > Advanced Scheduling to view your current licence status, or visit Help > Licence Information for a complete overview of all your active modules.

The Advanced Scheduling module transforms PlayIt Live from basic automation software into a comprehensive professional broadcasting system suitable for commercial radio stations.
